“With David’s arrival, our US Private Funds team continues to grow along with our clients,” said Roger Singer, who heads Clifford Chance’s Private Funds & Investment Management group in the Americas. “As our clients continue to mature from initial fund raisings to the establishment of larger, more complex funds, David’s reputation and strong relationships will help us unlock opportunities and further expand our capabilities advising fund sponsors. We’ve known David for many years, and I am delighted that he has decided to join our team.”

I very much look forward to working with my colleagues throughout the Firm’s integrated global platform to help our clients raise and deploy capital across the globe.”
